"Two big men can live together for ten years, why have I never been in love with a man for more than a year?" Huo Ying asked Xu You dejectedly, "The reasons for breaking up are still the same..."

Xu You came out of the kitchen and put a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice in front of her.

Huo Ying held the juice glass and looked at him tearfully, "I just promised my mother last month that no matter what, I will bring one back to show her during the Chinese New Year this year..."

Xu You looked at her speechlessly.Who would have known that the well-behaved and cute girl back then would become a royal sister-level character in the blink of an eye.Even if she is in a high-ranking position, she needs to show her aura to calm down a bunch of ghosts and snakes, but God can't help her character design is so out of shape that every time Xu You sees this girl in a delicate suit with eight inches on her feet. When a professional girl walks in high heels and walks vigorously, she will always recall with emotion how well-behaved and cute she was when she first arrived in Daocheng.

So Xu You also sighed, "What's the reason?"

Huo Ying counted on his fingers, "I'm busy, I don't have time to accompany them, if I want to date, I have to find an opportunity in the gap between my meeting time; I'm not considerate, I don't know how to do housework, I don't know how to cook... I'll fuck it , I have to squeeze time for a meal, where can I find that American time to cook for these bastards?!"

Xu You supported his forehead.In front of me, the sharp sister who started to slander people before she could say a few words, is it really the fragrant and soft little meat dumpling who hugged her thigh and called brother Yoyo back then?Is it really the young and beautiful girl who stood on the pedestrian street pitifully and tugged at his sleeve, swearing with a smile on her face that she would only eat one ice cream?

This world is so disillusioned.

"Uh, I actually think you're too busy." Xu You asked her carefully, "Haven't you thought about changing jobs?"

Huo Ying was puzzled, "Why change? I'm going to be promoted next month."

Well, for a professional woman, what could be more fulfilling than a promotion and a salary increase?

"Then you should arrange your time well," Xu You tried to comfort her, "For example, if you have free time after get off work, don't bring your work home."

Huo Ying wanted to refute, but was overwhelmed by Xu You's serious face, and murmured disapprovingly, "How can that be done..."

Xu You sighed, "Work is important. But don't you want to develop a relationship yourself? Don't you also want to bring someone home to show your aunt? Are you willing to be single for the rest of your life, and every night you go home is a dark room?" empty house?"

"Actually, I'm also very contradictory, brother." Huo Ying held his head and sighed, "Every time I go to your house and see you and Brother Shaodong loving each other, I think love is really good. But it's my turn... ...Why do I feel that all men bring me trouble? They keep asking for this and that...It's annoying."

Xu You lazily leaned on the wooden chair, watching the former grape seedlings have covered the wooden frame under the eaves, the small fruits hanging down from the lush branches and leaves, crystal clear, like a string of agate beads, feeling Involuntarily become happy.

"I want to get it, but I don't want to give it. Of course, this kind of relationship cannot be maintained."

Huo Ying asked him unconvinced, "Then what about you and Brother Shaodong?"

Xu You thought about it seriously, "We are all men, so we naturally understand the importance of career. In terms of life... I won't complain that he can't cook or do housework. Similarly, he won't blame me No time to date him."

Huo Ying held his face and sighed, "It sounds good."

Xu You pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.He knows that everyone has different requirements in life, and the life style of a loving couple may not be suitable for others.

Happiness is something you have to find yourself.

Seeing Huo Ying's frustrated expression, Xu You asked her a little funnyly, "Aren't you going to do something else? Just hang out here? I remember you rarely have a vacation."

"I don't want to go anywhere." Huo Ying shook his head, "Can I save dinner with you? I want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs made by Aunt Wei."

"It's time to order food, can I say no?" Xu You laughed.

Aunt Wei is the nanny invited by Zhuang Shaodong, and she is especially good at cooking.He is especially good at cooking meat dishes. According to Huang Haitao, since his naughty son ate sweet and sour pork with pineapple once at their place, he has been grinding Zhao Xiaoqi to cook for him at home all day long.Zhao Xiaoqi was so tortured that she had no choice but to bite the bullet while flipping through the recipes while lighting the stove.And then... consecutive defeats, consecutive defeats.Zhao Xiaoqi's fighting spirit was completely instigated by a piece of sweet and sour meat, but unfortunately, the hot oil scalded her hands and soaked them one after another, and she still hasn't completely subsided until now.

When Huo Ying thought of delicious food, he finally felt lighter, "I don't want to eat for free, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Xu You looked at his watch, "The people from my company are coming to have a meeting later. I can't leave, Shaodong has gone to the auto parts factory, and he won't be home until at least six o'clock. Can you go to the supermarket outside the community to buy some Something? When you come back, Wei

Auntie should be here too. "

Huo Ying nodded readily and agreed, "Okay, what do you want to buy?"

Xu You gave Huo Ying the list that Aunt Wei had given him, which listed some things used in the kitchen, such as tomato sauce, oyster sauce, water starch and so on.Because Aunt Wei also wrote down all the brands that her family liked, Huo Ying only needed to take a seat according to the number on the list, and there was no pressure for her, a housework idiot, to choose by herself.

Huo Ying looked at the shopping list carefully, um, they were all things she recognized.So she happily drove her red Beetle straight to the supermarket with a longing for delicious food.The weather was good and the mood was good. After shopping, Huo Ying turned to the dessert shop at the end of the street to eat a piece of vanilla ice cream, and packed some matcha-flavored cookies for his two brothers, and then went home satisfied .

When I got home, Aunt Wei had already arrived, washing the ribs in the kitchen sink, and there was a pile of vegetables on the counter next to her, red and green, really cute.The casserole on the stove had already been stewed with chicken soup, the fire was gurgling, and the room was filled with a strong aroma.

"It smells so good." Huo Ying raised her face and said intoxicated, "Aunt Wei, I really love you to death."

Aunt Wei used to be a female worker in a cotton spinning factory. After being laid off, she has been working part-time for others. Later, she went to apply for a job in the Hanging Garden. She was spotted by Zhuang Shaodong and invited to work as a nanny at home.Zhuang Shaodong and Xu You are very satisfied with her craftsmanship, and she is also very satisfied with this job. The two family members have a good temper, and the population is small, so it is easy to clean up the house.

"Auntie will teach you how to cook later," Auntie Wei said cheerfully, "I can cook it for my husband and children in the future."

Huo Ying's face twitched, "Aunt Wei, you really don't know which pot to open and which pot to carry. Don't you know, I was kicked by my boyfriend just now. That guy just dislikes me for not being able to cook and do housework."

Aunt Wei shook her head, "The one who hates this and that is not your destined husband. Don't take it to heart."

Huo Ying leaned on her shoulder and sighed, "I hope so."

Aunt Wei changed the subject thoughtfully, "What did you buy? It smells sweet."

"I bought some snacks," Huo Ying took out the contents of the bag, "where's my brother?"

"There are three young men here, and they are having a meeting inside." Aunt Wei pouted her lips in the direction of the study on the first floor, with a mysterious expression on her face, "Oh, Auntie can tell you, the few days I have been here today All the boys are single. There is also a manager surnamed Hong, who was divorced just a few years ago."

Huo Ying looked at the sky and rolled his eyes, "Auntie, people in my brother's unit often have to travel on business. I also have to travel frequently. If we have to get together...how can we live..."

Aunt Wei said angrily, "It's because they are both busy that they cherish the time together. Otherwise, one of them is always running around, leaving the other one will inevitably complain in his heart."

is that so?Huo Ying tilted his head and thought for a while, and felt that Aunt Wei's words seemed... There was a little truth in that.

"Your brother has already left them at home for dinner," Aunt Wei said in a low voice, "Take a good look."

Huo Yingxin said: My brother decided not to keep them at home for dinner to make it easier for me to turn over the brand...

Aunt Wei kept reminding her of the one, two, three, and four things that a man needs to pay attention to, and Huo Ying agreed with the matcha cookies he bought while putting them on a plate.The two were chatting lively when they heard a magnetic voice coming from the kitchen door, "Excuse me, where do you keep the tea at home?"

Huo Ying was taken aback by the sudden voice, and the first thing he thought of after he realized it was: My God, we are talking about how to choose a man... and how to choose the best one from these few guests ...

How much has this guy overheard? !

Huo Ying twisted his hands, and a matcha cookie was smashed to pieces.

An angry woman turned around and snarled at the blind guy, "Aren't you guys in a meeting? Why don't you drink tea if you don't work hard?! Can't you drink after work?!" When you finish work, we chat The man just finished talking, so how could it be so embarrassing?

"Uh," the man standing at the door of the kitchen probably had never seen such a tigress before. He was a little startled, and then he showed a smile, "Xu Gong said he wanted to drink tea."

Huo Ying gritted his teeth, "Go back and tell him that you can only drink tea after work! You have to drink tea while working. What kind of bureaucracy is this?! Do you think he is a grandfather?"

The man standing at the door laughed, "Mainly because he's been talking."

Huo Ying scorned, "Just listen to him talking alone, why are you still here? Let him type out the speech and send it to you."

The man explained to her very politely, "It's our turn to speak after he has finished arranging the work."

Huo Ying snorted, but still felt very annoyed.She felt she had never been so humiliated.What the hell is this? When someone comes to your brother's house for a meeting, you hide in the kitchen and mutter to the nanny which one is good looking and which one has a good temper... It seems that this is a black shop, no one cares about it out……

It seems that she has been so difficult that she has to find the edge of the nest to speak...

Aunt Wei saw Huo Ying's embarrassment, and came out with a smile to smooth things over, "It's Manager Hong, I'll make the tea, and I'll send it to you later."

Hong Sheng nodded, "Thank you, Aunt Wei."

Glancing at the tigress with its fangs and claws, it was found that the tigress was ferociously pulling the biscuit crumbs on the counter. Although she didn't spray anyone again, no matter how you looked at it, there was a... well, chilling atmosphere.Hong Sheng wanted to laugh again.In fact, he really heard what they were talking about just now.It's hard to hear well, but it's very quiet here, so as soon as he walked out of the study, he heard Aunt Wei saying: "Yingzi, this woman can't just think about earning money and getting promoted. No matter how much you earn, you can change it." Would you like someone who treats you sincerely? I think Manager Hong is pretty good, he has a good personality, and every time he comes here to talk to me, a worker, he is very polite."

The tigress replied fiercely: "If anyone dares to be rude to you, I will beat him to death with the sole of my shoe."

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Manager Hong's forehead.

Aunt Wei was obviously very happy to be so protected by the child she had fed, "I'm serious, this manager Hong is said to be the most capable manager in your brother's company. He is also energetic and earns a lot. You My brother said he was the most famous diamond king in that building."

Hong Sheng pursed his lips and began to look forward to how the tigress would respond.

Huo Ying's tone was quite disapproving, "Forget it, this kind of tall branches should be reserved for girls who need it more."

Aunt Wei was anxious, "What a wonderful person..."

"Aunt Wei, you haven't praised me for most of the day." Huo Ying was unhappy, "I'm fine too, look at me, I work seriously and responsibly, earn a lot of money, and I'm about to be promoted to Director of Operations in Asia gone."

"Oh, women can't just focus on their careers. When a man marries a wife, he must be rushing to make a living. At least you have to let him go home and have a hot meal..."

Huo Ying paused, and said in a strange tone: "According to this standard, Aunt Wei, he is actually more suitable for you..."

Aunt Wei: "..."

Hong Sheng: "..."

Huo Ying let out a long sigh, "My old lady sleeps up to five hours a day, works more than a donkey, gets up earlier than a chicken, and just points at my old lady to be a breeder for a man... Forget it, Aunt Wei, you Do you think I'm not tired enough?"

For some reason, when Hong Sheng heard this sentence, he suddenly felt a little...distressed.Not for the girl who is complaining, but for myself who has experienced such a life.

Aunt Wei felt distressed, "You stay here for a few more days, and Auntie will make tonic soup for you."

Huo Ying immediately became elated again, "Okay, stewed pig's trotters, people say that women eat the most nourishing."

Hong Sheng wanted to laugh again.Should he give advice to this straightforward girl? It is said that the first function of the pig's trotters seems to be to promote lactation, and the second is to beautify...

Aunt Wei kept her hands on her hands, and said in a nagging voice: "Okay, okay, make Yingzi strong and beautiful, and let's find another diamond king to go on a blind date..."

"That's right, that's right," the foodie's attention has been fully focused on the first half of the sentence, "I have to make up for it, you see I'm skinny now, my breasts are almost gone..."

……

……

that's all.

No wonder the girl was so angry when she saw her.Hong Sheng thought to himself that he had indeed heard some private conversations that were inconvenient for people—especially for strange men to hear.He looked Huo Ying up and down calmly. This girl is at least 1.6 meters tall, and she looks very imposing in high heels.His appearance is not as exquisite as Xu Gong's, but he is also born with bright eyes and white teeth, glamorous and moving.

Such a girl has a good career, so it's no wonder that her personality is a little bit arrogant.

Aunt Wei made tea swiftly, and put the dim sum that Huo Yinggang had put on the tray together and handed it to Hong Sheng.When Hong Sheng walked to the door of the kitchen with the tray, he turned around and smiled at Huo Ying as if thinking of something, "Your figure is very standard, so you don't have to worry about your bust at all."

Huo Ying's jaw dropped.

This... This... Is this being molested? !Huo Ying reflexively wanted to throw the things in his hand towards him, but Aunt Wei quickly held them down, "Oh, Yingzi, this is the plate that Mr. Zhuang brought back from France. It's so expensive, so you can't Just throw it away."

Huo Ying held his breath in his chest and couldn't get up or down.Aunt Wei tried to comfort her with a suppressed smile, "Angelica stewed chicken, sweet and sour short ribs, Hangzhou pepper beef tenderloin, cold seaweed shreds, look at Yingzi, do you want to make a green vegetable? If you don't eat green vegetables, you will get angry .”

"Green vegetables?" Huo Ying was indeed distracted, "I have a small bump on my chin, is it because I got angry?"

Aunt Wei looked at it seriously, "The weather is hot, and if you don't rest well, you will get angry easily. I will make you another mushroom and rapeseed, and a fried lotus root."

Huo Ying nodded again and again, "Okay, the lotus root can also be fried sweet and sour. My favorite is the sweet and sour lotus root made by you, auntie."

...Who said just now that his favorite food is sweet and sour pork ribs?

Aunt Wei shook her head, "If you have nothing to do, help me wash the fruit. Now the fruit, you have to soak it in clean water after washing, so that the pesticides and other things can be soaked, and you can eat it with peace of mind."

Huo Ying was fooled by Aunt Wei to wash the fruit, and quickly forgot what happened just now.

Zhuang Shaodong came home in time for dinner. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Huo Ying coming out of the kitchen with a pair of chopsticks in his hands. The project manager named Hong Sheng beside Xu You was following her, lowering his He said something to her with a smile in his voice, holding a plate of freshly fried mushrooms and rapeseed in his hand.

Zhuang Shaodong keenly caught something unusual in Hong Sheng's expression.

Xu You was still in the study, Zhuang Shaodong slipped in to find someone after greeting everyone, and closed the door behind him.

Xu You tapped on the keyboard, without raising his head, he greeted someone who had just returned, "Are you back?"

Zhuang Shaodong hugged him from behind, lazily resting his head on his shoulder.

Xu You saved the file, straightened up and patted him on the arm, "Tired?"

"Hmm." Zhuang Shaodong rubbed against his neck, complaining in a low voice, "I'm starving to death."

"Didn't eat at noon?"

"I ate it. But after running two or three places in the afternoon, it was all consumed."

Xu You couldn't help smiling, "I've already smelled the fragrance, wash your hands and get ready to eat."

As soon as he talked about eating, Zhuang Shaodong remembered the strange scene when he just entered the door, "What's wrong with Yingzi? With a pouting face, Hong Sheng followed her, as if why did you provoke her?"

Xu You gave him a slanted glance, "Didn't you realize that these two are a good match when they stand together?"

"What and what..." Zhuang Shaodong paused, then nodded thoughtfully, "Hong Sheng is quite a down-to-earth kid, but..."

"Hong Sheng asked me about Yingzi's situation just now." Xu You laughed mysteriously, "Tell me, what does this mean?"

Zhuang Shaodong looked at his beaming face, and hugged him itchyly, "What do you mean... The meaning is more complicated... Do you think we can go back to the bedroom first?"

"Stop making trouble!" Xu You smiled and opened his hand, "There are people in the room outside."

"Okay, okay, let's eat first." Zhuang Shaodong let go of him reluctantly, "Hey, what did you just say? Hong Sheng is interested in Yingzi?"

"I don't know if it's interesting or not." Xu You said with a smile, "But I told Yingzi just now that while working hard, you should also live seriously. Happiness can be expected."

"Can you look forward to it?" Zhuang Shaodong raised his eyebrows, "What does this mean? It's like you met me?"

"How is it enough just to meet?" Xu You kissed him lightly on the lips, with a soft voice, "We still have to live together, eat at the same table, sleep on the same bed..."

"Every day before you fall asleep and after you open your eyes, everything you see is you..."

"We want to grow old together. When I become a wrinkled little old man, you still have to buy me chicken feet, buy me beef, and grow flowers and fish with me..."

"Zhuang Shaodong, do you know that the luckiest thing in my life is to fall in love with you?"

The author has something to say: Happiness can be expected, so all the girls who read the article must be happy~~

This is the end of the story, I believe Xu You and his Zhuang Shaodong will live happily together forever~
